refactor: replace cyan accent with ember orange across entire frontend

Swap accent color from cyan (#22d3ee) to ember orange (#f97316) site-wide. Cyan caused contrast issues and felt generic — orange brings warmth and urgency fitting for a troubleshooting tool. Changes: - CSS variables: accent, accent-hover, accent-dim, accent-text, primary, ring - Warning color shifted from amber (#fbbf24) to yellow (#eab308) for semantic separation from orange accent - Brand SVGs: logo gradient updated to orange - 50+ component files: all hardcoded cyan hex values, Tailwind cyan-* classes, and rgba(34,211,238,...) glow values replaced - landing.css: all 45+ cyan references + 5 old border color fixes - DESIGN-SYSTEM.md bumped to v5 with decisions log - CLAUDE.md: all color references synced to charcoal palette + orange accent - PWA theme-color meta tag updated to match sidebar (#10121a) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

 ## Design Philosophy
-ResolutionFlow uses a **flat, high-contrast dark theme** inspired by Sentry and PostHog. The aesthetic is premium, clean, and minimal — no glass morphism, no backdrop blur, no ambient orbs, no gradient backgrounds on surfaces. The accent color appears in ≤5% of the UI. Every design decision prioritizes **readability over decoration**.

The aesthetic is premium, clean, and minimal — no glass morphism, no backdrop blur, no ambient orbs, no gradient backgrounds on surfaces. The accent color (ember orange) appears in ≤5% of the UI. Warm accent on cold charcoal surfaces creates high contrast and distinctive personality — orange conveys urgency and action, fitting for a troubleshooting tool. Every design decision prioritizes **readability over decoration**.
 **Light mode** is a planned addition (dark/light toggle). Design all components with CSS variables so theming is a variable swap, not a rewrite.

 |------|----------|-----------|
 | 2026-03-24 | Accent color changed from cyan (#22d3ee) to ember orange (#f97316) | Cyan caused contrast issues, felt generic "tech SaaS". Orange provides warmth against cold charcoal, conveys urgency fitting for troubleshooting, and is distinctive in the MSP tool space. |
 | 2026-03-24 | Warning color shifted from amber (#fbbf24) to yellow (#eab308) | Orange accent would clash with amber warning. Yellow provides clear semantic separation from the orange accent. |
 | 2026-03-24 | Light mode accent set to #ea580c (orange-600) | Darker orange variant ensures proper contrast on white/light surfaces. |
 | 2026-03-24 | Synced DESIGN-SYSTEM.md to actual charcoal palette | Doc was behind — still showed pre-charcoal values (#0c0d10 page, #14161d card). Updated to match index.css (#1a1c23 page, #22252e card). |
